My husband's favorite pie is French Silk. I remember buying it at Village Inn for his birthday for many years in our marriage. While we were getting out of debt, I thought, "There just has to be a way to make this in my kitchen, cheaper than to buy!" With my husband apprehensive, I pursued to make one, and he loved it! So now, I make French Silk Pies for all special occasions for my wonderful husband! The recipe is adapted from Pillsbury.com; it won the Bake-Off Contest in 1951!
Ingredients:
2 9" baked pie shells
1 cup room temperature butter (not margarine)
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
9 tbs cocoa powder
3 tbs veg oil
4 pasteurized eggs
Directions:
Whip together the butter and sugar together, until nice and fluffy. Add the vanilla, cocoa, and oil. Mix well. Whip one egg at a time for 2 minutes each.
Divide the light, airy-whipped chocolate between the 2 pie shells. Refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until firm. Garnish with whipped topping and chocolate shavings, if preferred.
